Campo Morar (meadow of mulberries) is Viviani's single-vineyard Amarone from the highest plots on the Mazzano ridge in Negrar, at over 400 metres elevation; the altitude confers remarkable freshness and acidity to the dried-fruit concentration, producing a wine of particular precision and longevity.

What it pairs with

  • Venison rack with juniper berry sauce
    The wine's iron-mineral precision and altitude freshness match the gamey intensity of venison.
  • Aged Monte Veronese d'Allevo Stravecchio
    The sharpest aged Veronese mountain cheese is the ideal regional match for Mazzano-altitude Amarone.
